Fact: Trans people exist. Claims that they’re just confused or ill are baseless and harmful. Gender identity is valid regardless of mental health or sexuality.

This issue has been raised in the Wales Local Authorities RISC to push our reps to use the Social Partnership laws in Wales—fighting for proper funding and provision of public toilets for workers and disabled members of our communities. #publictoilets #disabledmembers #busdrivers
🚽 Research by @unitetheunion.bsky.social has found over half of UK bus routes have no toilets available for drivers.
These findings show a complete failure when it comes to providing decent toilet facilities for bus drivers. 1/2 ⤵️

UK Disability History Month begins 20 November.
Unite uses the social model of disability, recognising that members are disabled by barriers in society—not by their impairments. Speak to your equality rep to learn why the medical model is flawed and how the social model empowers change.

Disabled workers already have enough challenges to deal with, without also being discriminated against by employers on pay. Average underpayment per year of £4000 is disgraceful, 49 days of employers effectively getting them to work for free. 1/2

Trans Mythbusting:
“Transition is just a phase.”
Actually, <1% of trans people detransition due to regret. Most stay trans for life. Regret rates for knee surgery? 6–30%. But no one questions that.

😡 Blacklisting workers for union activities is despicable.
Those who do it are breaking the law and must be held to account.
Birmingham’s bin workers are well aware that there is something rotten at the top of the council.
